Box Score Piedmont College's Shayna Healy took a pass from Megan Hatfield with only four minutes left in regulation time and snuck it by Maryville College keeper Rachel Taylor to defeat the Scots 1-0 in Demorest, Georgia on Wednesday evening.
Following a scoreless first half that featured 11 Lion shots to seven Maryville shots, Piedmont attacked on 13 occasions in the second half to MC's six opportunities.
"We started brightly in the first half, but failed to put our chances away," stated Associated Head Coach Jon Baker. "The second half was back and forth and could have went either way. Unfortunately we conceded a late goal and were unable to respond."
Allyson Hale, Kaitlyn Kennedy and Sierra Siegel paced Maryville with ten collective shots on the evening.
Rachel Taylor turned away nine saves on 10 shots on goal for the Scots.
Piedmont advances to 10-4-1 overall and 6-1-1 in USA South action while Maryville falls to 8-6-1 overall and 6-2-1 in league play. The Scots look to host LaGrange next this Saturday in a USA South match beginning at 4:30.
